Biography

Real names: Nqobile Khumalo

Born: 15 April 1992

Place: Mpumalanga, South Africa

Mzansi has been left shocked after discovering that their most annoying actor, Lebohang Msiza, who plays the role of Tiro on Scandal, could be related to their most loved villain Masoja Msiza who plays Nkunzi on Uzalo.

Not only could these two be related, but it could also go as far as them sharing the same blood, being father and son.Well, the similarities in their last names are what bring about this possibility and assumptions.

 

of their most cherished celebrities have come up with these allegations that Tiro is actually the son of Nkunzi Mhlongo.

Where are these assumptions coming from? Well, as we mentioned above, the assumptions are coming from the fact that they share the same surname.
Well, sharing the surname is not enough ground for one to claim relations with the other. Many actors in South Africa share the same surname bur are nor related at all.

Amongst the Zulu nation, it is common for thousands of people to have the same surname but still remain unrelated.

Hence, as IndAfrica, we do not confirm nor deny that Lebohang Msiza could be the son of Masoja Msiza. It could be similar surnames.

Also, we consider that it’s possible as Zulu men are known for their polygamous relationships. It could be possible that Tiro’s mother was married to Nkunzi.

Meanwhile, Lebohang is killing his role on Scandal as a villain, which everybody hates who is always plotting against his big brother to get him kicked out of the family.

Tiro wants all the shine to himself without being in competition with anyone else as he wants to be the Golden child of the family whilst everyone else becomes the black sheep.

Skeem Saam fans have been buzzing with rumors lately, sparking speculation about a major shake-up in the beloved South African soapie. Amid the chatter, there were claims that Lungelo Mpangase would be taking over the role of Pretty Seakamela, a character that has become a staple of the show. But don’t fret—Skeem Saam has set the record straight.

Rumors of Pretty Seakamela’s Departure

 

 

 

 

 

Social media recently erupted with claims that Pretty Seakamela, played by the talented Lerato Marabe, would be leaving the show. Pretty has been a pivotal character on Skeem Saam for years, capturing the hearts of viewers with her compelling storylines and emotional depth. Lerato Marabe’s portrayal of Pretty has been a constant since the show’s inception, making her one of its most recognizable faces. So, when whispers of her departure began to circulate, fans were understandably concerned.

The rumor mill didn’t stop there. Speculation quickly pointed to Lungelo Mpangase as the actress set to step into Pretty’s shoes. Mpangase, known for her standout role as Nikiwe in the soapie *Nikiwe*, has become a rising star in her own right, and the idea of her joining Skeem Saam sent fans into a frenzy. However, reliable sources close to the show were quick to shut down these claims, confirming that there are no plans for Marabe to leave the show.

Skeem Saam Sets the Record Straight

Skeem Saam moved swiftly to reassure viewers that their favorite characters aren’t going anywhere. Lerato Marabe will continue to bring Pretty Seakamela to life, and fans can rest easy knowing that the dynamic actress remains committed to her role. The show emphasized that the rumors were just that—rumors—fueled by social media’s tendency to jump to conclusions.

In addition to the speculation about Pretty, there were also rumors about Cedric Fourie’s character, Lehasa Maphosa, exiting the show. Lehasa’s storyline recently took a dramatic turn when his character was sentenced to life in prison, leading to unfounded fears that Fourie was set to leave Skeem Saam. Once again, the show clarified that Cedric Fourie is still very much a part of the cast, and viewers can look forward to more dramatic twists involving Lehasa.

Meet the Stars: Lerato Marabe and Lungelo Mpangase

Lerato Marabe has been a central figure on Skeem Saam since its early days. Hailing from Vosloorus, she grew up in a family that valued education—her mother is a teacher, instilling in her a strong work ethic. Beyond her role as Pretty, Marabe has appeared in other popular series such as *Isibaya* and *Intersexions*. She is also pursuing her studies in editing at AFDA Cape Town, balancing her academic aspirations with her acting career.

Lungelo Mpangase, meanwhile, continues to make a name for herself in the industry. Known for her roles in *eHostela* and the film *Temba Lam*, she’s one of the young talents to watch. Although fans were excited about the prospect of her joining Skeem Saam, it seems that, for now, she will not be stepping into Pretty’s role.

The Bottom Line: Don’t Believe the Hype

While the buzz around possible cast changes added some excitement, Skeem Saam has made it clear: no major shifts are happening. Fans can continue to enjoy the show’s engaging storylines and the characters they love. This serves as a reminder to take rumors with a pinch of salt and rely on official statements for the truth.

DJ Fresh delivers touching tribute to his former partner Thabiso Sikwane.

DJ Fresh delivered a heart-wrenching public apology to his ex-wife Thabiso Sikwane in his moving tribute at her memorial service on Friday.

 

 

 
While the DJ and podcaster said he had privately apologised to her and their children , he was compelled to publicly express remorse. “I’m sorry, my friend,” he said.

In February 2022 the couple announced the end of their marriage of 20 years, revealing they were divorcing. Despite their divorce, the couple maintained a strong friendship, showcasing their enduring bond on DJ Fresh’s podcast What a Week, days before her death.

DJ Fresh’s apology highlighted the complexities of their relationship and reflected on their last days together. “It doesn’t make sense. One thing I appreciate, especially about these children you blessed us with, is they are exactly like you.

“Because this woman personified love, she forgave me more times than I deserved. She would relentlessly not give up on me as a human being. Even when she said, ‘maybe we must just cut our losses’, she said it with love. Any other person would have probably walked away long ago but because she was love, she didn’t give up.

“The only thing I owe her that was meant to be delivered last week when we recorded the podcast, was an apology in public for heartache I had caused her. That was the point of that podcast — a public apology for any heartbreak, any heartache, any embarrassment, people’s eyes that I caused you.

“I apologised to you and the children, but it was not complete until it was done in public.

“I’m sorry, my friend.”
